Implement a explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait feature gate

When this gate is enabled, explicit generic arguments can be specified even
if `impl Trait` is used in argument position. Generic arguments can only be
specified for explicit generic parameters but not for the synthetic type
parameters from  `impl Trait`

+# `explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait`
+
+The tracking issue for this feature is: [#83701]
+
+[#83701]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83701
+
+------------------------
+
+The `explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait` feature gate lets you specify generic arguments even
+when `impl Trait` is used in argument position.
+
+A simple example is:
+
+```rust
+#![feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)]
+
+fn foo<T: ?Sized>(_f: impl AsRef<T>) {}
+
+fn main() {
+    foo::<str>("".to_string());
+}
+```
+
+This is currently rejected:
+
+```text
+error[E0632]: cannot provide explicit generic arguments when `impl Trait` is used in argument position
+ --> src/main.rs:6:11
+  |
+6 |     foo::<str>("".to_string());
+  |           ^^^ explicit generic argument not allowed
+
+```
+
+However it would compile if `explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait` is enabled.
+
+Note that the synthetic type parameters from `impl Trait` are still implicit and you
+cannot explicitly specify these:
+
+```rust,compile_fail
+#![feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)]
+
+fn foo<T: ?Sized>(_f: impl AsRef<T>) {}
+fn bar<T: ?Sized, F: AsRef<T>>(_f: F) {}
+
+fn main() {
+    bar::<str, _>("".to_string()); // Okay
+    bar::<str, String>("".to_string()); // Okay
+
+    foo::<str>("".to_string()); // Okay
+    foo::<str, String>("".to_string()); // Error, you cannot specify `impl Trait` explicitly
+}
+```
